VMware VIC on HPE Proliant Gen 10 DL 360 DL 560 Servers

VMware's vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC) enables IT teams to seamlessly run traditional and container workloads side-by-side on existing vSphere infrastructure.

vSphere Integrated Containers comprises three major components:

1. vSphere Integrated Containers Engine: A container runtime for vSphere that allows you to provision containers as virtual machines, offering the same security and functionality of virtual machines in VMware ESXi™ hosts or vCenter Server® instances.
2. vSphere Integrated Containers Registry:
   An enterprise-class container registry server that stores and distributes container images. vSphere Integrated Containers Registry extends the Docker Distribution open source project by adding the functionalities that an enterprise requires, such as security, identity and management.
3. vSphere Integrated Containers Management Portal:
   A container management portal that provides a UI for DevOps teams to provision and manage containers, including the ability to obtain statistics and information about container instances. Cloud administrators can manage container hosts and apply governance to their usage, including capacity quotas and approval workflows.

Cloud administrators can create projects, and assign users and resources such as registries and virtual container hosts to those projects.

These components currently support the Docker image format. vSphere Integrated Containers is entirely Open Source and free to use. Support for vSphere Integrated Containers is included in the vSphere Enterprise Plus license.
